I'm Smack. It's a nickname.: I'm twenty-something and getting ready to (finally!) receive a B.A. in unemployment. I just got back from living for a year in Edinburgh, Scotland and traveling to an eclectic list of European countries. (Romania was my favorite. Besides Scotland, of course.)

I've worked as a reader for a literature magazine, an editor for a poetry magazine, and as a research assistant for an anthropology professor in Santa Barbara, as a pool girl at a resort in Carlsbad, as a handy(wo)man in Las Vegas, and as a ticket-taker at a movie theater in San Diego. I take what I can get, job-wise. My writing has been published a few times and won a few awards, but I have yet to break even on the entry fees.

This blog is my attempt to entertain a small portion of the world. Stories ought to be entertaining, don't you think? Entertaining, and maybe sometimes helpful. I hope my travel stories, experiences and related advice is useful to someone out there.

For comments, questions, and a myriad of answers to life's deepest ponderings, feel free to email me at whatsmacksaid@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you.
